Playing catch up

So, I've been pretty lazy lately and I haven't posted much. I finally have a somewhat relaxed week and so I decided to catch up, well that and the fact that I'm bored out of my mind at work.
Andy finally found out that she's having a boy. I'm so freaking excited, I totally called it as soon as she told me she was pregnant, and you should hear her! She's so happy about it. He was supposed to be named Freddie after both my dad and Andy's dad, but my brother went all egocentric and jerk on us and he's going to be named Robert, after him. Pretty selfish of him if you ask me, given that Andy's dad died recently and I'm sure it would have meant a lot to her to name her baby after him. But then again, my brother's an ass, so I shouldn't expect him to do something sweet like that. I mean, he did crash his car into a wall on Friday at 5am while driving drunk, so... what can you say to that? He's fine but the car is smashed. Is it wrong that I'm looking forward to see my sister-in-law more than my own brother?
And well I finally bought my place ticket to go help Andy with the new baby. I'm leaving May 15 and I won't be back until August 7. Now I was a bit sad because I really wanted to get away from Memphis, and to be honest a bit from my parents and then my mom decided to go. Turns out she's going June 18, so I still get a bit of freedom. And I know that sounds horrible, but as much as I love my mom, if we don't spend time apart I'm going to snap at her one of these days. I'm not the most patient person in the world and she and I are too different.
My sister also asked for a vacation while I'm there. She wants to take a trip to the beach with me. That sounds pretty cool, but I'd be okay if it doesn't happen too. One because I'm not a beach-type of person, and two because my relationship with my sister is weird. I adore her, but we never have much to talk about and we really don't have that much in common. That and the fact that with her being 11 years older than me, she's always trying to boss me around and control me and I'm too stubborn to do it. But it could be a fun trip, so we'll see how it works out.

I also told Angel I was going and he's been all cute with me again. He went back to calling me nicknames and to ask me if I needed him to pick me up from the airport. He even wanted me to talk to him about LP, which is weird as hell considering that ever since MTM came out he's been dissing them and saying that they went emo (which made me quite happy as you can imagine). He also asked me for support because he was nervous for a test to get into a different school. I don't know if it's because I haven't seen him in a while or what but it makes me feel weird. Maybe it's me being cynical but it seems like all this is coming with a hidden agenda. Maybe it's not, maybe Rox was right and he still has feelings for me, but something just doesn't fit, to be honest, I'm not as nearly as excited to see him as I was last year.

Meanwhile, one of my co-workers is getting married and I've been invited to my first wedding in Memphis, which is really cool. She's so sweet and so smart, she's the one that's been training me since I got here. I'm going to miss her now that's she's graduating.

I've also been busy trying to find a good deal for a Wii. I want to sell one back home given that the price here is listed in 250$ and they're sold in about 700$ in Venezuela. Unfortunately, they're sold out everywhere. I found a couple but the prices are between 400$ and 650$, so I decided I'm going to hold out for a little bit until I find a better deal. If you know of a good offer, let me know.

I also saw the list for PR this year. Again, nowhere near Memphis, *sigh* not that I could go, because I'd be back home. But I like the Houston date, because I'm back by that time and I could go visit Mary there and go to the concert. The date works because I still haven't started the semester and I'm already back from my trip, and I would just have to pay for the plane ticket and the ticket for the concert. I know Mary has been asking me to go down there so this might be a good chance, depending on whether or not I manage to get the cash. If I could see my guys twice in one year, I'd be happy girl.
